„ Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under the base. Wedge the cord into the notch. (fig. 1)

TO OPEN THE LID

„ Press the opening button on the lid. It lifts automatically. (fig. 2 and 3)

To close, press the button down firmly on the lid (fig 6).

PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.

„ Kettle is only to be used with the base provided.

FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (fig 4)

Never fi ll the kettle when it is on its base.
„ Do not fi ll it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may spill out (fig 5).
„ Do not use without water.
„ Check that the lid is closed properly before use.

POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE OUTLET.
TO START THE KETTLE
Press the on/off button on the handle (fig 7).
All the buttons' LED rings will light up.

TO BOIL THE WATER
2 options:

If you would like to boil water, simply press the BOIL/BLACK, the LED light on the side will turn on and fl ash indicating the boiling process has started (fig 8).
If you would like to choose your own temperature (160°/DELICATE 175°/GREEN - 185°/WHITE - 190°/OOLONG - 200°/HERBAL), press the button associated to your desired temperature, the LED light on the side will turn on and fl ash to indicate the heating process has started.(fig 9).
- „ Once the temperature has been chosen, the heating cycle will begin automatically and will stop once the selected temperature has been reached (accurate to +/- 6°F).
- „ To stop the cycle once it is under way, press ON/OFF button.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION

„ Your kettle has a KEEP WARM function (fig 10). Please select your desired temperature before press the "Warm" button. The water will be heated to the selected temperature and then kept at this temperature for 30 minutes.
„ The maximum permitted temperature for the Keep Warm function is 200°F.
NOTE
„ After 30 minutes, the power will cut off itself.
„ If you use the TEMP button to select a temperature lower than that of the water already in the kettle, the function will not be activated and the cycle will not start.
Example: if the water is 195°F, you will not be able to start cycles for temperatures of 140°F - 155°F - 175°F - 185°F.

Recommended temperatures:

160°F (71°C) DELICATE
175°F (79°C) GREEN
185°F (85°C) WHITE
190°F (88°C) OOLONG
200°F (93°C) HERBAL
212°F (100°C) BLACK/BOIL

THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

„ As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.
„ Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

„ Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting, and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves, fannings and dust).
- Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas have a subtle flavour, often bitter, and very pale in color.
- Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste and a superb coppery color.
- Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes. Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.
„ Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and lemon (with green or flavoured teas).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.

„ Unplug your kettle.
„ Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
„ Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
„ Do not use scouring pads.

CLEANING THE FILTER (fig 11).

„ The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them from falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. Using the filter will not change water quality. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the lime scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling.

DESCALING

„ Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.

To descale your kettle.

„ Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
- Fill the kettle with 2 cups (0.5 L) of white vinegar,
- Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
„ Using citric acid:
- Boil 2 cups (0.5 L) of water,
- Add 1 3/4 tablespoons (0.88 ounces) of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
„ Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

To descale your filter.

„ Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
„ Never use a de-scaling method other than what is recommended above.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

„ The kettle does not work
- Check if the kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fi ll it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
